Reborn 80s

Years later, Chen Huaiqing began a journey of inspecting industries.

The stalls are now too big.

The Yangtze Iron and Steel Fangcheng Branch Factory is a large-scale steel enterprise with an annual output of 20 million tons of steel. The area is naturally extremely large. Although the chimneys scattered around do not seem to be smoking, in fact, a steady stream of production is going on inside the factory.

Fangcheng is very important to Yangtze River Steel.

Because this is the closest outlet to the sea in the southwest.

Although many industrial export products in the southwest region are transported through the Yangtze River, some are also transported by rail to the port in Fangcheng and then sold to all parts of the world.

Chen Huaiqing: "How much is the total steel production capacity of the entire Yangtze River Steel now?"

"Last year, 120 million tons were produced. This year, some new blast furnaces will be put into operation, and the output will increase by 20 million tons."

Chen Huaiqing couldn't help but shook his head: "Next, except for the blast furnaces under construction, new blast furnace projects will no longer be approved. Domestic steel production capacity will soon enter the stage of excess. The steel winter is coming, and Yangtze Steel must You have to be prepared to live a hard life.”

"Don't worry, Director Qing. The Secretariat issued relevant documents before, and we have stopped all new blast furnace projects. We even have plans to stop production of some old blast furnaces."

The old blast furnaces are mainly located at the Jiangcheng branch.

The construction of the new plant of Yangtze Iron and Steel Jiangcheng Branch is carried out in phases. The old plant is constantly shutting down production, and people are moving to the new plant.

The supporting facilities at the new factory are also quite good.

There is a dedicated residential community for employees. There is also a kindergarten in the community, as well as an elementary school and a junior high school nearby.

For high school students, you can go to Xinxing Middle School in downtown Jiangcheng.

Not every child has a talent for reading, and parents still have to admit this.

There are also technical high schools in Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng Technical High School is exactly the same model as the technical high school here in Yuzhou.

It has indeed attracted many parents to send their children to study.

There are also quite a lot of various majors offered, which can be said to cover all walks of life.

The most important point is that technical high schools are very strict in the management of students.

Rules are really important.

Entering the factory, if someone does not operate according to the regulations, the machine will be destroyed and people will be killed.

Regarding the factory production site inspection, Chen Huaiqing was just a quick observer.

The whole production was like that.

What Chen Huaiqing pays more attention to is the empowerment of traditional industrial production by technology.

For example, the metering device on the production conveyor belt.

Directly through the conveyor belt, you know the amounts used on iron ore, coal and various additives today.

Data and so on can be viewed directly on the computer in the production control room.

For example, there is no one guarding the weighing room.

When all vehicles enter the factory, they start to be entered into the system from the gate post.

It doesn’t start from the door post, it starts from the time the vehicle is loaded with goods, and it is already in the system.

The entire system is divided into transportation system, production system and product system.

Changjiang Iron and Steel has been developing this system very early on, and all branches are using it.

The headquarters of Yangtze Steel can check the operation status of each branch factory at any time.

From production volume, raw material inventory, expected arrival and consumption of raw materials, product inventory, etc.

As long as there is enough data, you can have a clearer understanding of a company's operating status.

Of course, the operation of the entire system naturally depends on people.

Chen Huaiqing met with the employee representatives and held a symposium to listen to their opinions on what they were dissatisfied with in the factory.

In addition, there was a meeting with people from Yangtze Steel. Chen Huaiqing kept talking about the same old words and asked to strengthen the development of new products. Improve the quality of products and rely on quality to win users.

In terms of operations, in addition to focusing on the domestic market, we must also actively expand overseas markets.

That is, steel exports must be increased.

Globally, many countries do not have large steel companies, but these countries have huge demand for steel.

Then naturally there is a huge market.

Next, Chen Huaiqing went to the port again.

Xiangjiang Yuantao began investing in and building ports in China more than 20 years ago.

Fangcheng's port naturally has the participation of Xiangjiang Far Trade.

"The port's monthly throughput has now exceeded 700 million tons, and the entire number will increase significantly in the next few years, and is expected to reach tens of millions of tons."

Many people may not feel much about this number.

Well, looking at the ships coming in and out of the port, you know how amazing this is.

In recent years, domestic and global economic and trade connections have become closer and closer. A large amount of materials are shipped to the country, and a large number of industrial products are also shipped out.

“What is the maximum throughput the port is designed for?”

"1000 million tons per month. We are already starting a new phase of port expansion program research."

Chen Huaiqing didn't say anything about this, but looked towards the sea.

Fangcheng is quite close to Annan. A county-level city under Fangcheng is right next to Annan.

Many industrial products produced in Fangcheng directly enter Annan and Southeast Asia through land transportation or sea transportation.

This time Chen Huaiqing's inspection of his industries lasted for a long time.

It’s already July when I return to Yuzhou.

It was the hottest time in Yuzhou at this time, so naturally we found a place to escape the heat.

During the summer vacation, Chen Huaiqing also called Chen Le back.

I had a good talk with Chen Le about the succession issue.

Chen Le's own career has just started to improve, so naturally he doesn't want to come back to take over.

More importantly, he didn't want to live in his father's shadow all his life.

Just like a small sapling, it can never grow up in the shadow of a big tree.

Because there is not enough sunlight and nutrients for the saplings to grow.

What's the end result?

The saplings died.

Unless the saplings are moved to another place.

"Dad, you are only in your forties and you are still young. There is no need to consider retirement so early!"

Chen Huaiqing: "Whether you are young or not, it doesn't depend on your age, it depends on your mentality. I am tired now and want to rest early. If you do this, I will give you a month to deal with your affairs, and then come to the company to work."

It is not that Chen Huaiqing has not considered professional managers.

One drawback of professional managers is that they consider short-term benefits more than long-term results.

Why should we consider the long term? This industry is not our own.

In the short term, just do the company well and get huge salaries and bonuses.

Management must use professional managers, but one must supervise them to ensure that the entire company does not give up the future in pursuit of short-term interests.

Chen Huaiqing is doing more of this now.

Chen Huaiqing must ensure investment in technology research and development. As long as the technology is there, even if there are short-term mistakes in the market, it can be adjusted. (End of chapter)
